And yes, I feel that it absolutely triggers my sensory and muscular symptoms. My feet and hands certainly burn that night and the legs cramping and muscle twitches are intense at night. Last week, I was determined to incorporate exercise back into my life and started "beginner yoga". Ten mins in I had to stop. My hands and arms were burning and hands and feet swollen. I did yoga three more times with similar results and called it quits, at least for now and until I see a neurologist. I just don't feel confident or comfortable exercising at this time. Hoping I can see a physical therapist or my doctor will give me insight so I can get back at it. EXERCISE IS MY THERAPY and stress reducer!!
EXERCISE IS MY THERAPY as well! My suggestions:
1) Check your shoes (not in yoga obviously). Wear them around the house and see if they trigger anything. My sneakers because of the roughness of the sole effected me. I also can not wear socks in my sneakers (sometimes if I turn them inside out so the smooth side is next to my feet it works.) I had tried dance class and I realized weeks after I had given it up that my shoes were the culprit. Exact same symptoms you are describing. It's still is a challenge to take the class, but nowhere like it had been with those sneakers.
2) Yoga was horrible for me as I have spinal issues and a cyst in my hip that were being inflamed by the weight bearing poses (warrior, back extension poses, etc.) I went to a muscular skeleton Dr who ordered various tests and I now know yoga is not for me and I also know what to avoid.

My neurologist told me it is ok if exercise triggers symptoms as long as it doesn't extend to the next day. I don't know if it applies to the general population or if it was just in my case but I've read similar things on this forum.
